Lepe Country Park

Lepe Country Park is based on the North Western Coast of the Solent Waterway and runs from Stanswood Bay to the mouth of the Beaulieu River.

Lepe was once one of the main ports in the Solent but was wiped out of existence by a great storm in the seventeenth century resulting in the untimely demise of the related fishing community.

The remnants of this village can still be seen via traversing one of the country parks walkways.
From the cliff tops above the beach, commanding views of the Western Solent can be achieved resulting in a lookout position for Solent Rescue Independent Lifeboat station being placed there.

To the west of Lepe, at grid reference SZ435985 lies Inchmery Quay.

Today Lepe is an idyllic foreshore country park with an adventure play ground and purpose built bbq areas which makes it perfect for friends and families to get together and enjoy the pleasanter days of the Southern England climate.

Even if the weather is not of a fair nature, the area can still offer some breath taking sights and is an all year round favourite for dog walkers and fishermen.
